Abstract Accurate depiction of meteorological conditions, especially within the planetary boundary layer (PBL), is important for air pollution modeling, and PBL parameterization schemes play a critical role in simulating layer. This study examines sensitivity performance Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model to use three different [Mellor–Yamada–Janjic (MYJ), Yonsei University (YSU), asymmetric convective model, version 2 (ACM2)]. Comparison surface observations with 92 sets daily, 36-h...

In previous studies, the Yonsei University (YSU) planetary boundary layer (PBL) scheme implemented in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was reported to perform less well at night, while performing better during day. Compared observations, predicted nocturnal low‐level jets (LLJs) were typically weaker higher. Also, WRF with Chemistry (WRF/Chem) YSU sometimes overestimate near‐surface ozone (O 3 ) concentration nighttime. The updates incorporated version 3.4.1, include...

Abstract The Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei (BTH) region experiences frequent heavy haze pollution in fall and winter. Pollution was often exacerbated by unfavorable atmospheric boundary layer (BL) conditions. topography this impacts the BL processes complex ways. Such implications on air quality are not yet clearly understood. all four seasons BTH thus investigated study using idealized simulations with WRF‐Chem model. Results suggest that seasonal variation of thermal conditions synoptic patterns...

Global soil carbon (C) stocks are expected to decline with warming, and changes in microbial processes key this projection. However, warming responses of critical parameters such as use efficiency (CUE) biomass turnover (rB) not well understood. Here, we determine these using a probabilistic inversion approach that integrates microbial-enzyme model 22 years cycling measurements at Harvard Forest. We find increasing temperature reduces CUE but increases rB, two decades the sensitivities rB....

Abstract. Severe ozone (O3) pollution episodes plague a few regions in eastern China at certain times of the year, e.g., Yangtze River Delta (YRD). However, formation mechanisms, including meteorological factors, contributing to these severe events remain elusive. A summer smog stretched over YRD region from 22 25 August 2016. This event displayed hourly surface O3 concentrations that exceeded 300 µg m−3 on Nanjing, an urban area western YRD. The weather pattern during this period was...

Abstract The variability of the lower tropospheric temperature inversion (TI) across China remains poorly understood. Using seven years’ worth high-resolution radiosonde measurements at 120 sites, we compile climatology TI in terms frequency, intensity, and depth during period from 2011 to 2017. generally exhibits strong seasonal geographic dependencies. Particularly, frequency is found be high winter low summer, likely due aerosol radiative effect winter. surface-based (SBI) a “west low,...

Abstract Meteorological model errors caused by imperfect parameterizations generally cannot be overcome simply optimizing initial and boundary conditions. However, advanced data assimilation methods are capable of extracting significant information about parameterization behavior from the observations, thus can used to estimate parameters while they adjust state. Such should identifiable, meaning that must have a detectible impact on observable aspects behavior, their individual impacts...

Abstract Previous analysis of Oklahoma City (OKC), Oklahoma, temperature data indicated that urban heat islands (UHIs) frequently formed at night and the observed UHI intensity was variable (1°–4°C). The current study focuses on identifying meteorological phenomena contributed to variability nocturnal in OKC during July 2003. Two episodes, one with a strong signature weak signature, were studied detail using observations along simulations Weather Research Forecasting model. Mechanical mixing...

Abstract When assessed using the difference between urban and rural air temperatures, heat island (UHI) is most prominent during nighttime. Typically, nocturnal UHI intensity maintained throughout night. The over Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW), Texas, however, experienced frequent “collapses” (sudden decreases) around midnight August 2011, while region was experiencing an intense wave. Observational modeling studies were conducted to understand this unique phenomenon. Sea-breeze passage found be...

Abstract A significant challenge with dynamical downscaling of climate simulations is the ability to accurately represent convection and precipitation. The use convection‐permitting resolutions avoids cumulus parameterization, which known be a large source uncertainty. regional model (RCM) based on Weather Research Forecasting configured 4 km grid spacing applied U.S. Great Plains, region characterized by many forms weather extremes.

Abstract The atmospheric boundary layer height is a basic parameter in describing the structure of lower atmosphere. Because their high temporal resolution, ground‐based lidar data are widely used to determine daytime convective (CBLH), but currently available retrieval methods have advantages and drawbacks. In this paper, four retrieving CBLH (i.e., gradient method, idealized backscatter two forms wavelet covariance transform method) from normalized relative evaluated, using artificial...

Abstract In this study, we examine the spatial pattern of surface amplification factor (SAF). SAF corresponds to element energy gain kernel derived in Part I three-part series papers, representing rate input perturbations at surface. At a given location, amplifies an equal regardless their origins. Therefore, variation can provide insight into variability climate sensitivity. The global mean is about 2.6, and its closely resembles cloud field. values range from 4 over western equatorial...
